They are all stained glass windows.   the ceiliing is arranged in a rising spiral.  Very odd, but effective.

This little building is in a tiny park in the middle of Downtown Dallas.  Thanksgiving Square was built on the premise that Thanksgiving is the greatest holiday, and the most important thing we can do.

I like that.   As I get older, I ask God for less and less, and thank Him for more and more.   Maybe He's getting better at seeing to my needs, but I suspect that I'm finally getting to understand what I really need, and what I don't.

Amen Sam.  The more we dwell on what He does and gives us the more we realize how much He has done. 

I think as we mature in Christ the more we realize what is important in life.  People are important.  Things are not.

Have a good day.

This, BTW, is the park and the exterior of the chapel.   Not exactly a little country church, but it provides a quiet place to meditate and worship for many urban office workers.

That spiral must be the area of the stained glass? 

Looks like a quiet place.

Far too often thses places are locked up tighter than a drum.  It is good that it can be used in this way.  We need to "come apart and be separate" in order to truly find inner peace with God. 

I am really impressed at the access.

Thank you, and thanks for all your great church pictures.   Like several others here, I have an interest in them.   Yours are a great addition to the board.
